no, no, no, no.

Now see, that is where

you're wrong.

I just don't see

the growth in leadership.

That's why this whole

Beresford Capital business

scares me so much.

Now look, are my numbers

wrong here?

Because if the Shimotomo merger

does not go through soon,

then that entire firm is in a lot of trouble.

[Man 2]

That doesn't matter.

Look, I'm telling you,

Beresford better stay away from Shimotomo.

They're going to smile at your face,

and then they're going

to stab you in the back.

These guys are dangerous.

Trust me, I've seen them do it.

Anybody who gets

into business with them

is really asking for trouble.

Clay Beresford better know

what he's doing...

[Woman]

Sir, they need you out there.

Thank you.

Welcome.

My daughter Tanya and my wife.

Happy Halloween.

Oh, here he is.

Whiz kid of Wall Street,

Barron's Man of the Year at 22:

Clayton Beresford, Jr.

Sir, I'd like you to meet

Mr. Inamoto and Mr. Waturi.

They're with our friends

at Shimotomo.

They're here to check up on you.

They know about your condition.

[speaking Japanese]

Mr. Waturi would like for you to know

how much respect he had

for your father,

Mr. Beresford.

He was quite a businessman.

Yes, he was. Arigato.

[speaking Japanese]

Mr. Waturi would also like to know

how you're feeling today.

Well, you'll have to tell Mr. Waturi

that I feel fabulous.

[speaking Japanese]

Please also tell him that I'm ready

to cut to the chase

whenever he is.

[speaking Japanese]

In the last eight quarters alone,

we bought and nurtured

over 600 companies.

We donate 80 million

charitable dollars per annum.

We provide over 16,000 jobs.

Mr. Waturi, my heart may be weak,

but my mind is strong.

And the only thing

you need to worry about

is which one of our 17 Niigata sakes

you'd like to enjoy with your dinner.

[speaking Japanese]

[speaking Japanese]

[chuckling]

You're a ridiculous person,

you know that?

I don't know how you say that

with a straight face.

I mean, it's just... it's ridiculous.

I'm serious this time.

Let's just leave

the country, you know?

Go to China.

Try our luck on the black market.

Why don't we just go outside?

We'll grab some random

person off the street,

drag them in here, you know...

Sounds good to me.

Drag them in and cut them open.

Hey, whatever it takes, right?

You worry too much,

you know that?

Oh.

They'll find me one.

It just takes a little time, that's all.

You're not going to like this.

Straight to the king.

Oh, nice hand!

Boat. Jacks over eights.

- Are you kidding me? Again?

- [laughs]

Come on, you're my son.

Can't hide anything

from your mother.

I think I need to go upstairs.

Don't stay up too late.

Beresford Capital

opened higher today

after their announcement of the Dirasonic

acquisition over the weekend.

This bodes well for

the New York-based company,

especially since continued merger

discussions

with the Shimotomo Corporation

have left investors feeling anxious.

The Japanese government's investigation

into the Shimotomo family's

alleged links to organized crime

were well-documented last quarter.

And with that merger still in question,

the Dirasonic acquisition will go a great way

to calming investors' concerns

that Beresford is playing with fire.

Still, rumors surrounding

the merger...

I thought you might like a little drink.

Oh, maybe one. Thank you.

You're up late.

Something on your mind?

Got to get my family time in now.

You know, before some

smoothy whisks you away.

Yeah, right.

Like that's going to happen.

I don't know.

I think maybe somebody

had a little baby crush on Dr. Neyer.

I saw the way

you were looking at him.

I don't need anyone else.

I got you, Clay. Remember?

So, I closed Lambert today.

That means if we get

a hold of Mecter too,

that's 2,000 new jobs guaranteed,

plus new housing...

Do you remember him, Clay?

I remember bits.

Like what?

He died at Christmas.

Come on, don't you

remember anything else?

Sure, he was wearing a Santa suit,

and he fell down the stairs.

I mean from when he was alive, Clay.

I remember he smiled a lot.

Sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Beresford.

Uh, door was open.

What?

I just need your signature.

I know it's late,

but I want to get this out tonight.

Of course, Sam.

Thank you.

[Sam]

The Edmond "thank yous" are done,

your table's locked for the benefit,

and I put you down for the roast beef.

I know it's your favorite.

You're too good to me, Sam.

Well, if that will be all,

I... should be heading home.

- Good night, Mrs. Beresford.

- Night.

Mr. Beresford.

Sam!

- Sam.

- I'm tired, all right?

I just want to go home.

Actually, f*** it.

You got me hiding

my engagement ring, Clay.

What is wrong with you?

- Will you come under the umbrella?

- No.

I've been engaged for six months.

No one even knows I'm dating anyone.

Do you have any idea

how that makes me feel?

I'm sorry.

If you won't even acknowledge me,

how do l...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?

For Christ's sake, Clay,

what are you doing?

You can't be in the rain.

Will you come inside

so we can get warm?

But she'll see.

Are you sure?

Unless you'd rather stand in the rain.

I should have done this

a long time ago.

She's not going to like it.

Come on.

I trusted you in my home, Samantha.

How could you come in here

and sneak around?

Please.

Clay, she lied to me to my face.

- She's a liar.

- I can't stay here forever.

I'm not asking you to.

Just... wait a bit.

Get to know each other first.

We've been together for a year.

Then wait till you're a little older.

How old were you

when you got married?

It's different. I was too young.

Clay, you've got your

whole life ahead of you.

Do I?

If you walk out that door,

you've made your choice.

You're making it for me.

Sam, wait.

Oh... oh, God.

Okay. Um...

Nope.

Here we go.

Look what we've got here.

All right, sweetie.

All right. Open up, honey.

You okay?

You okay?

I am so sorry.

I just needed to be acknowledged, that's all.

I'm going to go away

and leave you two alone, okay?

Marry me.

What?

Tonight. Right now.

Marry me tonight.

But it's the middle of the night.

I don't want to wait anymore.

We've waited long enough.

[sighs]

Really?

[Jack]

The minister is on his way,

and he's bringing

his wife as a witness.

How the hell did you

pull that one off?

Triple bypass last June.

I'm calling in a favor.

You're a good best man, Jack.

- Thank you.

- Okay, hold on.

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

- No, no, no, no.

- Come on, please! Please, please, please.

- We had this conversation.

Clay, I am pulling

I've gotta drag these

little moments out any way I can.

Just... Just one, okay?

[laughs]

You gotta take the lens cap off first.

Oh, okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Just one, just one.

Oh, man, look at that.

- An actual smile.

- [shutter clicks]

[sighs]

So proud of you.

[Man]

I, Samantha Jane Lockwood...

I, Samantha Jane Lockwood...

take you, Clayton Beresford, Jr...
